Can someone tell me what a "millard" recording is ? Heard the name a few times, supposedly his recordings were better quality or something ?

Mike Millard was a bootlegger in the LA area in the 70's. He pretended to be handicapped and came to concerts in a wheelchair, so he could hide his recording equipment in the wheelchair, and get close access to the stage. He's most known for the '77 run of LA Forum concerts, including the 6/21/77 bootleg "Listen To This Eddie". He also is known to have done Long Beach in '75, and a couple of the LA '75 shows. Not much is known about him, but he is believed to have committed suicide in 1990.

I think No Quarter has become my favorite live Zep song. I dig listening to the versions from each tour as it grew from 73-75-77. I really like the 73 versions, they were short, compact, and very eerie and atmospheric. 77 was more of a long jam, in lieu of Dazed & Confused.
